Brazil bans Counter Strike :-o

My new Gamespot friend nichavgo wrote in his blog about this topic. I decided to quick blog it too since it seems to have flown under Gamespot's radar.

Brazil, (yes, the large country in South America) has banned Counter Strike and EverQuest. This one should definetely be in "Ripley's Believe It or Not" list.

On the Spot mojo

In less than three months GS has lost three major staff members: Jeff Gerstmann, Alex Navarro, and Ryan Davis. Add to that Rich Gallup's departure last July and you can spell "major problem for On the Spot."

Sure, there are still great guys like Brian Eckberg, Ricardo Torrez and Matt Rorie. However, you would have to be blind (and deaf) to not realize that the magic of "On the Spot" is now gone despite the efforts of new host Ryan McDonald. I haven't seen/heard/read about new members yet but whoever is in charge of HR at GS needs to work fast to get some new talent and get "On the Spot"'s mojo back.

Directory clean-up?? Why GS, why?

So today I discovered GS performed a "Forums Directory clean-up". But they didn't clean just the directory as you might've inferred from the announcement title. This clean-up involved wiping out completely the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube forums, among others. They replaced these boards with the new "Legacy Platforms" board in which they pretend to lump everything together, from the Atari 2600 to the PS2 and Xbox. There are still lots of big-name games that will be released on the PS2. Just head over to the "Coming Soon" section on the PS2 page. Sure, we still have the game specific boards for PS2 & Xbox games, but now I wonder how long these will last. And even if there are no new games coming out for the Xbox from an organizational point of view
is still a mess to have just one legacy board. Are they really saving that many man-hours or disk space by getting rid of those boards?

I wrote in the Site enhancements & Feedback board that we should have the option to build our own directory. That's right, in this era of Web 2.0 we should decide what boards show up in our forums page. They should keep separate boards like before and let us customize the forum list. I sincerely doubt this will ever happen, but heck, I can always dream.

Now back to Guitar Hero III

This is a really cool part in the game, because the LEGO character does not move, because he's scared.
